If you happen to experience dairy breakouts you may wonder does dairy cause acne in all girls? Acne can occur for a number of reasons and sometimes many ladies do not think of food as being the culprit. More logical reasons always seem to be cosmetics, lack of sleep or even stress. Therefore, what is so wrong with dairy products in the first place? Dairy is fine, but how everyone reacts to it is different.

Does Dairy Cause Acne in All Girls?

It can be tough to give up dairy in order to avoid breakouts. For that would mean no more ice cream, yogurt and cheese can almost sound like a death sentence. However, there are still plenty of other yummy foods that can be consumed that can make the food switch up worth it. One would have to think long and hard whether to continue to experience dairy acne or cut out dairy in exchange for smooth, gorgeous skin.

So then what causes this type of skin issue? Studies indicate that some milk-based products contain hormones from cows. These very cow hormones in some people stimulate the sebaceous glands. As a result, acne is created. Therefore to answer the question at the forefront of this post, no this reaction is not seen in all women. Most will not have to cut out dairy from their diet but it is a good thing to try if acne keeps occurring after indulging in milk-based products.

Fashionable Mention: Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat

Arianne Suggs November 26, 2016November 26, 2016Leave a Comment

It did not take long for us to become huge fans of Draya Michele’s brand Beige and Coco. Her collection is very her and has a rich, luxury feel. One piece that is definitely noteworthy is the Beige and Coco Faux Coat.

Fashionable Mention: Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat

Our love for the Beige and Coco Faux Fur Coat came about for a number of reasons. For one, it is a piece that can instantly be described as “classic.” If you are looking for a way to add a bit of affluence and extravagance to your wardrobe, a fur coat will accomplish that in seconds. For years, fur coats have been associated with opulence and wealthiness. Think old Hollywood and you will instantly get the picture.

Nevertheless, it is usually the price tag associated with fur coats that is enough to make some go never mind. Also, there’s the amount of cruelty that is linked to production as well as the design processes used by many major brands. Draya Michele is taking the high road with these issues when it comes to her fashions. She commented on her signature coat by stating:

“To FUR or not to FUR… we all wonder about a few things when it comes to fUR… principles and price. When deciding to add FUR to my line, I decided to take the humane way out by designing a Faux FUR coat. It’s stylish, warm and affordable! I hope you all love.”

We have to agree that the coat is stylish and an attention grabber. This particular fur coat comes in different shades, a gorgeous noire tint as well as wine. Therefore, go ahead and indulge a little this winter and look like a true diva in a beautiful faux fur coat!

Sty-eye : Could My Eye Makeup Be the Cause?

Arianne Suggs November 25, 2016November 25, 2016Leave a Comment

Oh, the uncomfortable and unsightly joys of a sty-eye. Those bumps that suddenly appear along the eyelid can make you feel like your experiencing a scene from Alien. However, there could be a very logical reason as to why the flare up happened in the first place. What causes sty-eye and how can it be prevented?

Sty-eye : Could My Eye Makeup Be the Cause?

In short, yes your eye makeup could be the cause. Especially, if it is very old. Why is this the case? Sties are caused when bacteria becomes trapped within the gland openings along the eyelid. Once this occurs a bump forms which can appear to be quite red. These bumps are often very painful and swollen thus making your eye look less normal.

There are a plethora of ways that bacteria can be transferred to the eye line. This could happen by sharing eye makeup brushes as well as eye makeup in general. As a rule you should always avoid sharing makeup that is applied near sensitive areas such as the eye.

Another way bacteria can seep its way into glands is going to sleep with eye makeup such as eyeliner still on. As you know occasionally getting your beauty rest on with makeup is not harmful. However, making it a habit can lead to many skin issues. Acne and yep, you guessed it sty-eye.

The Ugly Truth

The third way bacteria can potentially cause a sty is due to using super old makeup. Now, we are all guilty of keeping older makeup in our beauty bags. This is because it can take years to find that perfect color or product that just gets the job done like no other.

Yet, it is old makeup that can breed and house bacteria that can easily find its way into your glands. When it comes to eyeliner you especially need to use caution. Liners are applied regularly to and near the water line. Which means that it can easily wreck havoc if contaminated with bacteria.

When should you toss out your liner? It is highly recommended that liquid liners be removed from your beauty arsenal after three months. Pencil eyeliners have a longer shelf life and can be safely used for six months.

The Sty-Eye Fix

So lets say you have done everything you can to prevent a sty but you are still dealing with the little bugger. How can you treat a sty without causing any additional irritation?

First of all, whatever you do don’t attempt to drain or squeeze the sty yourself. We have heard some horrors stories in our day. Two words: a needle. Just be kind to yourself plus your eyes and perform a warm compress instead.

Simply warm a washcloth with hot water and then place the cloth on the affected eye area. In time you will definitely notice a difference. A few other things to keep in mind is to toss any old makeup and avoid eye makeup until everything is better. By keeping all these tips in mind you can heal, avoid and prevent sty-eye.
